After that I helped drag him out of vehicle & lay him down on-2 the ground a "lady" was on the phone w/a 911-operator describing the drivers injury to his leg and was told to get some kind of cloth or something & cover-up the wound so I took off my new white T-shirt & covered the wound-up. He had a softball size hole basically on his left-leg which was broken also @ the shen literally. I got out 2-help cause my wife & I both were in a car accident in November-2016 where we both were lucky to walk away with minimal injurys & when I seen that accident I had a flash back n thought that could of been my wife & I.......
